Keeping Perl Script ALIVE on public server

[ricco]

I have a web form created in html, on a web host server, which includes a start time field that can be up to 24 hours ahead. After hitting the submit button, a Perl script is run that takes the form data and accesses a website, with the data, at the requested start time. Without running this on my own server, instead of a public server, I'm unable to keep the connection live for anything more than 5-10 minutes. Any ideas?

Your setup does not entirely make sense. Can you describe it further?

I'm confused too, but "Keeping Perl Script ALIVE on public server" you can't do that. The server will most likely kill your perl program after a set amount of time or a set amount of resources are used (like cpu time or system memory).
